I'm a social person, but I'm also a very private person. I can make friends that I would call drinking buddies, but not close friends. It takes ne awhile to fully open myself up to someone. I'm going through one of the worst experiences of my life right now, but I only talk to my closest friends about that. No fault of anyone in Oregon. I just don't trust someone with my raw emotions right away. It's just who I am.

My closest friends are not in Oregon, but that could change. I have to allow it though. I have plenty of reasons to cry, but I save that for people who have already seen me cry and know the right things to sat to calm me down.

I have known cinn since middle school and she knows me better than anyone else because she has been there for me through some really awful times in my life. I will never meet someone who knew me when my parents were alive or before MS. She held me and comforted me the night my mother died. She stayed with me at the hospital and watched bad tv with me when I was diagnosed with MS. She calls me on my bullshit and loves me in spite of that bullshit. She may live with some weirdo in one of the Carolinas, but I still love her.

The joys of the interweb and unlimited minutes allow me to stay connected with my Ohio friends. I don't need to open myself up to anyone right a way. I call/email/text my dear old friends when I feel shitty. They know me and that really comforts me.

So long story short, I get what the OP is taking 'bout. Everyone is different though.
